    My brothers HP Pavilion dv6-6135TX with specs, 2nd Gen Intel Core i7-2630QM (2GHz) 4GB of RAM 640GB hard disk drive AMD Radeon HD 6770M. Is having boot problems, if the battery is in, just lifting the lid will get it to start to boot or with battery out, plugging in the charger will get it to start booting. Unfortunately it never gets through the boot cycle dying within 5 seconds, no matter if I press F2, F11, F8 or any other F key, I got into bios once but again it died within seconds. I tried taking out the harddrive to see if it would boot from the HP recovery disc I have, but again it died within seconds, even tried taking out the cmos battery with not change to the symptoms.

    At this point I'm thinking that the motherboard it gone, any one got any thoughts on what the problem is??

    His cd player wasn't working the day before, having a code 19 error and we used this fix could this have cause this new problem, seeing it was working fine after we fixed that error and rebooted?
